Just watched the SDCC Q and A Video with Bill and Steve. Steve said that a couple new Legends Deals were signed a few weeks ago. Bill was asked how excited he is, about These signings. He responded: "If Muta is a 10, these are about an 8". Maybe Ventura is one of the new signings and hopefully the rumor about Demolition is true. Could be possible that they finally agree to a deal, if its not exclusive because they had Mattel and Jakks figs and were included in WWE 12. Seems that WWE changed some things in terms of Legends Deals. Some like Andre and Bulldog Always had a different deal, but there are many more now that are also signed to other companys: Dusty Rhodes (MWFP) Warlord (MWFP, Epic Toys) Eddie Guerrero (Epic Toys, Asylum,MWFP) Tatanka (Hasttel, Asylum) Sgt Slaughter (MWFP, Asylum) Jim Duggan (MWFP, Powertown) Alundra Blayze (Powertown) Junkyard Dog (Powertown) Bobby Heenan (Epic Toys) Vader (Epic Toys) DDP (Epic Toys) Greg Valentine (Epic Toys) Godfather (Hasttel) Harley Race (MWFP) Ventura would be a 6 for me ultimo dragon and la parka would be a 12 Yeah, it’s hard to say what Bill’s 8 would be to others. I mean in my opinion, Demolition would be a 10 and Muta would be a 7-8 . Bill may be referring to Ventura and Alundra Blaze. |

Bill may be referring to Ventura and Alundra Blaze. Yeah, I'm thinking his opinion is a bit skewed due to his bias because I'd say there's a fair number of people who wouldn't rate Muta as a 10, but would sell a kidney for a Ventura given the same level of UE treatment. |

I mean I could be wrong, but I feel like if you had asked everybody on this board to name their top 10 most wanted figures , Muta wouldn’t be in majority of them. Not saying I wouldn’t want him, but there’s plenty more I could name that I rather see before Muta.. But at this point I’ll take any FTITL. |

I have no intentions of picking him up until they make an nWo version. I think they’re way overestimating the popularity of Japanese wrestling and pre-Nitro WCW. While Muta is unquestionably a legend I don’t think he resonates that much with your casual older adult wrestling fan. |

Almost everyone you listed has had a ProWrestlingTees store for years and most have been made as MicroBrawlers going back 3-5 years. |

I just want to know what prompted the change in trunks peg and torso construction on newer ultimates.

While Muta is unquestionably a legend I don’t think he resonates that much with your casual older adult wrestling fan. I’m 44, grew up in the south(so WWF wasn’t my be all end all wrestling). When Muta came to WCW for those first few years, he was probably the coolest thing I’d ever seen. His look, his style, his type of wrestling. I can’t begin to explain how much of a 10 he is to me for Mattel to be making him I can’t say I ever even saw Jesse Ventura wrestle. Of course I had his LJN, but he was only ever an announcer to me. While I would buy it, I’m not clamoring for an announcer Elite or UE to be added to the line Muta NWA/WCW/JCP = 10 Jesse Ventura = maybe a 4 or 5 for me Id say Haku, Barbarian, Adam Bomb, Giant Gonzalez they would be an 8 for me. Maybe 1 of them will be one of the new signings |

Plus he was always wearing flashy colorful outfits. |

My UE Undertaker finally arrived from Target after being delayed for like a week, but honestly this figure was well worth the wait. It may have entered my Top 5 UEs. Smooth joints, the perfect accessory choices, and a version of the character I've been wanting for a long time. I've been collecting since 2010, but really started hardcore collecting once I turned about 18 and somehow have never picked up a regular trench coat Undertaker. All my other Undertakers are either from different eras or have one of his fancier coats

I don’t think a lot of people cared for this as much as Bill did, he wanted it and he made it happen. Now I just wish they would do what they always claim they do and that’s doing stuff the fans want. Yeah, I’ll buy the Muta and so will a lot of others, but I could name 50+ others that I would have rather had than Muta. |

I mean I’m not saying I didn’t want a Muta, but there’s plenty more I would have wanted first. But I guess you take what you can. |

We are never going to see a Val Venis figure and it’s not really a surprise.

They could use Sean Morley but I highly doubt they’d go through the trouble. Porn star wrestler doesn’t really scream something Mattel would make. Plus I’m pretty sure I’ve heard everyone in WWE hates the guy so I don’t think anyone would be in a rush to get him into a deal. |

I mean they made a pimp with another one coming so I don’t think Val’s fake profession will prevent Mattel from making him if he was available. |
